Happy New year!!!

2010 has gone by very very fast.
I can't believe it is over.
It honestly feels like yesterday we were celebrating the New Year in by a tranquil beach at the Town of 1770.

2010 for us has seen a few changes.
Nothing to drastic or unmanageable.
On review of the year quickly in my head, we have been fortunate and blessed.
It has been a 'stable' year.

2011 will be a different kettle of fish however (in a good way).

This family of (5) have enjoyed holidays in our caravan for (4) years now.
So much so that we are off on a caravan journey of a lifetime for (6) months around our wonderful country!!

Hubby has long service leave approved for the second half of 2011.
Come the June/July school holidays off we go!!
I still find it hard to believe that it is actually going to happen.

Fine details yet to be fully worked out but essentially:
  • Home will be rented out to subsidise holiday
  • Kids will do some form of distance education (Hubby used to be a Teacher which is a bonus)
  • We will go counter clockwise around the country heading north initially for the dry/cooler season.
  • I might need medication to control 'homesickness' as I am a bit of a homebody.
One of Hubby's Xmas presents. The research has begun.
The  'Jayco' Outback. Home for (6) months.
The planets are aligning and the preparation is beginning.
The O&E family is very very fortunate to have this opportunity available to us.

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year.
See you in 2011!!

  1. OMG! Are the Blythes going? I'm flabbergasted! What a trip of a lifetime to look forward to!

    Most importantly, can you blog while you're on the Highway?

    Imagine the Op Shops you'll stumble across! So exiting!

  3. Not exiting ... exciting! You'll 'exit' highways.

    You'll be glad for a break, won't you?
